Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post a quick update to let anyone reading know what's going on with the project. Right now it's on temporary hold while I finish the project I'm doing at work. I've been doing overtime for about 6 months now, so I haven't had any time to focus on Unlikely Jedi, nor fol…

This week saw the end of issue 1, and it ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger. Unfortunately, we were not able to get funding to continue with issue 2, but not all hope is lost. Early next year it's my intention to attempt to start drawing it myself - I just need some time to get a graphics tablet and p…

Unfortunately, we did not hit our funding target, which means Unlikely Jedi will not be continuing past page 28... for now. We'll still put out pages as often as we can raise the funds to do so (if you're awesome, you can donate at the bottom of the site). We would like to extend our heartfelt thank…

Greetings readers! Just a short post today to remind you that you only have 5 days left to contribute to the Unlikely Jedi issue 2 Indiegogo campaign. If we don't hit our target of £1000, we won't be able to contnue to make the comic. The truth is we have a lot of readers - people are enjoying…

So here's how creating the comic actually works.
stage 1 - the script
First of all, we begin with the script. The story and dialogue has been written for years, so adapting it into comic form has been a fairly painless process, though it has gone through a number of major and minor changes since t…

When I first had the idea of doing a Kickstarter project to fund the comic, the hope was that we'd get enough to fund the entire 130 page graphic novel. That was incredibly naive for a number of reasons, and of course the original campaign failed miserably, reaching only £916 of our £600…

In truth, the Kickstarter pitch video came about waaaay before we found Abel. When we had the idea to do a new lightsaber video to promote the kickstarter, we were still hoping Jenny, who we'd been in touch with again in what we thought was a last-ditch attempt to get the comic up and running, would…

If you're a fan of our Facebook Page you'll likely have already heard the news, but if not then here it is:
It's been 6 months to the day that we successfully funded issue 1 of Unlikely Jedi, and today we're OVER THE MOON to announce that we're launching the fund raising campaign for issue 2! On Su…

By this point, Jon and I were pretty excited - after a year of looking we finally had an artist that was able to completely deliver what we wanted. Looking back on how this all began, back when we first decided to buy a camcorder between us and make "Shotgun", I never dreamed that I'd still …
